Abstract

SUMMARY Partini. Sustainable Sago Plantation Development Based on Local Wisdom in Indragiri Hilir Regency. Supervised by Melinda Noer, Irfan Suliansyah, and Dodi Devianto. The global food supply faces challenges such as rapid population growth, the threat of global climate change, pest and disease attacks, and the decline in productive agricultural land. Sago, a plant with the potential to produce very high carbohydrates, is resistant to climate stress and thrives in swampy areas where other commercial crops struggle. Indonesia, the country with the largest area of sago plantations in the world, has the potential to become a future food barn. Sago plantations in Indragiri Hilir Regency have survived for hundreds of years and are an important source of income, a social function for the surrounding community, and environmental conservation. Environmentally friendly management practices that prioritize local wisdom ensure the sustainability of sago plantations. Sustainable management practices also make the system more resilient in the face of external shocks. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the sustainability and resilience of sago plantations, analyze the forms and values of local wisdom in sago plantation management, and formulate a model for sustainable and resilient sago plantation management based on local wisdom. The research was conducted in Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau Province, from November 2023 to February 2024. The research method used a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach using a sequential explanatory design. The results showed that the sustainability of sago plantations is influenced by farmer characteristics, the agro-ecological environment, cultivation practices, socio-spiritual values, and supporting institutions. Meanwhile, water management practices are a crucial factor in wetland management. However, currently, water management, in the form of ditches, has only served as transportation routes, thus insignificantly impacting sago plant growth. In harvesting practices, poorly maintained plantations result in heavy harvesting workloads, resulting in high harvest costs and reduced farmer income. Improvements in these variables are crucial for creating sustainable plantations. Sustainable plantations supported by farmers with high capacity and social values support the creation of resilient sago plantations. A resilient sago plantation system enables it to maintain its function as a hereditary crop (social function), as a buffer zone and conservation area (environmental function), and as a source of family income (economic function). Sustainability and resilience in sago plantations are the result of management closely linked to local wisdom values. This local wisdom is intangible, encompassing practical local knowledge, socio-spiritual values, and informal local institutions. Farmers' local knowledge is the result of long-term experience adapting to swamp environments, including water and land management practices, cultivation practices, and harvesting practices. Water management practices, such as ditches, are used primarily for transportation rather than as an agronomic system. This demonstrates that the technical approach to sago cultivation in swamp areas differs from that of other commodities. The existence of local institutions, such as farmer groups and informal conflict resolution, provides a forum for farmers to gather and resolve problems. Support for social values such as a sense of family, mutual cooperation, and mutual assistance strengthens relationships within the community. Spiritual values, such as respect for specific spiritual entities, make farmers' relationships with nature more ecologically responsible. The open and dynamic nature of local wisdom allows it to develop and innovate with the times and technological advancements. A sustainable and resilient sago plantation development model is formulated through the integration of local wisdom with scientific knowledge through three strategies, namely: (1) improving cultivation and harvesting systems through the integration of local knowledge with scientific knowledge, (2) strengthening the role of institutions and informal conflict resolution to strengthen the social system, (3) strengthening farmer institutions based on social values to increase market access and prices, thereby increasing farmer income. A sustainable system supported by farmers who have strong social capacity and cohesion makes the sago plantation system more resilient because it is more adaptive and resistant to external shocks.
